resume revisited

The resume is public information. It says 1972-78 Park Director of a Hialeah facility. Does anybody know WHICH park? Anybody who worked with him at that time? A boss? coworker? athlete? The resume states that in 1979 he was Assistant Recreation Director for Miami Beach. Same questions apply there. Resume says in 1980 he was a Special Consultant to the City of Ft Lauderdale- writing recreational dept duties and responsibilities (job descriptions basically) and formulating and requesting Federal grants. Any info on this period of time out there? Also 1980, resume says Rec Director, Wilton Manors. Anybody know anything about that one year as Rec Director there? employees? athlete? parent? Since Rec Director would be assumed to be a full time job, perhaps he did the consulting six months and the Rec Director six months? how big a program was that then? Did they have a pool? Did Hialeah or any other place have pools? New construction? What DID he do as President of his corporation for the past 24 years? Sell backstops? high school jackets? athletic shoes? uniforms? There is NO mention of ANY of his responsibilities for that period. Apparently it wasn't considered pertinent to the job as Rec Director. Giving a guy with one year experience as a Rec Director 28 years ago a 100k+ job sounds pretty questionable, doesn't it? Were there NO other candidates out there with more recent and total years experience as a Rec Director? Knowing who is the go-to guy for new uniforms, shoes, and backstops is great, but not worth 100k+, is it?

pool Freedom of Information request

A Freedom of Information request was made today requesting all the details of the pool operations ie revenues, expenses, contracts, etc. Lets see how long it takes for a response. If nothing else, this information can identify and clarify the issues at hand.

waiting for Godot, or Bardot

I think it is reasonable to wait until the end of the year for the new Pool Director to see what she can really do. A re-evaluation at that point would be done then. Rome wasnt built in a day, etc. No such leeway can I find for City officials that have squandered our tax monies repeatedly and continuously for the past 3 1/2 years, at least. They have had a chance to show what THEY can do and its been a series of financial and managerial disasters followed by fiascos that are followed by catastrophies. If they arent managing the CC so horribly that Santana receives the building wrapped in a bow, they are making two-wall enclosures at $600 a square foot, bathrooms at over $400 a square foot, and new gyms that, if their pattern holds true, will cost us MILLIONS more than usual and customary construction costs SHOULD cost. We have NO reason to believe the gym project will be ANY different than the others because it is the SAME cast of characters involved and its obvious they havent learned A THING over the years. IF they have learned anything its how to waste MORE of our tax dollars ie the bathrooms, which are MONTHS behind schedule and HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of our tax dollars over the usual and customary costs for that project, with MORE cost overruns and change orders on the way. They have raised their usual level of incompetence and ineptitude, which is considerable in the first place, to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL!!! And THAT is giving them the benefit of the doubt that there isnt anything more nefarious or corrupt going on.
